What baffles me, is that if I choose xdm as the display manager on the server, it works, if I choose kdm as display manager, it doesn't. Where does the difference in behaviour come from? The display manager settings in YaST is on all systems exactly the same, /etc/sysconfig/diaplaymanager is identical, as is /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config.

Also verify that /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager has at least:
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes"
This is so.
and, if you're trying to login as root (not recommended):
DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE="yes"
This is so too
Then, be sure you've run "SuSEconfig" and restarted KDM any time
Check the modification time of /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc If it is older than your last change to /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, you haven't run SuSEconfig. That's what updates the kdmrc file. -- Jim Cunning <jcunning@cunning.ods.org>
